Thanks for writing about us. We’re working really hard to add blogs to the service to make it useful for our readers. Feel free to send me an email at mm [at] backtype [dot] com with the blogs you comment on, or submit blogs here: http://www.backtype.com/contact. We’re going to add a feature that lets you submit blogs easily.

Context is definitely something we’re working on. Right now I find myself drawn back to the original post when I see an interesting comment so I can find that context and join in the conversation.
